Organ Works: Dover Music for Organ

Perhaps the most important composer of organ music before Bach, Dietrich Buxtehude (c. 1637 1707) was one of the most influential musicians in northern Europe. His brilliance as a performer is said to have inspired the young Johann Sebastian Bach to walk 200 miles from Arnstadt to Lubeck to hear his performances.
The most important of Buxtehude's instrumental compositions were for organ, and this volume presents virtually all of the composer's organ works 78 toccatas, preludes, chorale variations, chorale fantasias, chorale preludes, fugues, canzonettas, chaconnes, and other works reprinted directly from the definitive Breitkopf & Hartel edition by Philipp Spitta and Max Seiffert.
Professional and amateur organists, musicians, and music lovers will welcome the opportunity to study and perform these masterful compositions conveniently reprinted in this attractive, inexpensive, and authoritative edition.
